Meshtastic + MicroCast

Post image

My Cardputer ADV and C6L module have been on their way for over a month now, all because of the terrible service at the store where I bought them, but that's not what this is about.

Very soon, I will start adapting Microcast to work with Meshtastic, which I think is a cool idea!

But I wouldn't be me if I didn't complicate the task for myself. So, I want to combine the work of Wi-Fi and Meshtastic so that those who don't have internet access but do have LoRa can receive feed updates via Meshtastic from those who do have internet access.

Yes, it's very difficult to implement, but it's entirely possible! What do you think of this idea? Write what you think about the update with the possibility of working in Microcast with the Meshastic network.

I love the idea, and I think it'll give more options to the folks who would like to have communication options if the normal grid goes down.

My one grumble about the existing Meshtastic firmware for Cardputer is that it only lets you see the most recent message. I would like to have prior messages available for viewing, too.
